Too Cool for the YuleVarious Artists

This ain't your grandma's holiday record. These twelve original songs by Serious Vanity Records’ artists represent the times we're living in: the cheer, the angst, the love, the longing, the pain, the trysts with men in red velvet suits, the jail-time...finally, there's a Christmas album that gets you.
So, It was a couple of years ago that I wrote this little gem. It was looking to be a pretty bleak Christmas season and I was totally not in the mood for Christmas Cheer. I got to dwelling on the commercialism of the holiday and what it has really come to mean for so many people. Now don't get me wrong, I'm far from being all Bible thumpin', but I do feel that there is more to the holiday than the economic boon. It's just turned into another reason to lavish tons of un-needed crap onto a bunch of kids that already have an over developed sense of entitlement.
So, I approached my new Christmas song from a very jaded, almost punk rock mental space and I think it comes out pretty well in the delivery. It's simple, it's honest, it's catchy, and it's me. Take from it what you will and Merry xXxmas!
